Why haven't we heard more about HR-X???


The VPI HR-X has been out now over a year and no real reviews, reports or comments here or in the mags?? I wonder why?? Can anyone chime in?

Jameswei..you're perking my interest! Why the Graham 2.2 over the JWM 12.5 arm that COMES with the table?? Is, in your opinion, the Graham that much better then the 12.5?

And, can you disclose the options you have in the HR-X that is custom?

Thanks
Rick
So much said here!! Boy I'm starting to wonder what response I would get if the question was asked...."comparing three tables...the VPI HR-X ..... the Basis 2500 (with or without vacuum) ..the SME 20.....which one is best?"

I assume all are very good. However, which one is the a better match/mate for the arm? For instance, the VPI makes the table and the arm, so does SME, and so does the Basis (however the Graham arm is made by someone else). Is it better to go with the same company for table/arm? I have always felt that the VPI/SME/Basis are great tables.....however, I have also felt the Graham ( made by Bob Graham and NOT Bill Conti) is a better arm then the VPI and the SME (I can't explain why). Is it best to go with the better table.....then chooses the arm (no matter the manufacturer)? Or stay with the same company for table and arm?
Hi Raul...I guess it is a little bit of both? A questions and then maybe a decision? I have a good table (VPI Aries) although I believe there are better tables out there. I have a good arm (VPI 10.5) althought I believe there are better arms out there. And so I ponder...the what if's...and hope I decide on the right answer...
